I ride my hydrogen-powered bicycle all over Finland. Relatives, sights, experiences. I have met many people on similar bicycles on my journey. A great feeling of togetherness! We have remembered the time when similar journeys were made on electrified bikes. They have not been used for years. Hydrogen has replaced the use of electricity worldwide - despite the opposition of oil-producing countries. Cars, trains and other means of transport are now hydrogen-powered.

With new, environmentally friendly technologies, I have started to travel abroad again. The development that started in Finland is most clearly visible in Europe. People seem to have regained their zest for life. Optimism has taken over. This is most evident in Africa, where food is being prepared in a way that takes account of the changes brought about by climate change. New varieties have been developed that can cope with less water, erosion has been corrected by planting trees and shrubs. The global shift towards plant-rich food is also reflected here in large green areas.

In turn, basic livelihood security has brought greater peace. Weapons still exist, but their intensity effectively limits their use and increases the risk of conflict.

Älter werden im Dorf

Anonymous

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

Anonymous

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.

I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.

Politische Entwicklung

Ban on religions, as these are the main drivers of terrorist attacks and wars. AI should be developed with great caution to prevent a possible danger. German politics should be completely rethought, no more party coercion in the parliamentary groups and each party must vote on draft laws. The absence of party coercion means that every member of parliament can also vote in favor of a law of the other party, but also against bills of his party, so that no party would have to come to power alone or through a coalition and a freer democracy would be created.
